I have been a follower of this forum for a long time and I have never posted before but having just been told by someone who Silverhawk is and read his misguided opinions here I felt it was time to speak up. Some of you should be asking him what he did at his previous company to negotiate the pilots pay.
Someone mentioned naivety. Well you hit the nail on the head there.His record is not one to shout about which is probably why your going to regret not trying to sort yourselfs out with proper representation. He was one of the people who advocated that the ipa should represent the pilots and got nowhere with that naive notion. Now he is going to go for the tgwu. Since when are pilots unskilled or semi skilled workers. Thats exactly what your managment want to lower you to and youre falling right into their hands.
Never mind because you dont know any better. Pity you dont listen to pilots like Norman Stanley or Ardacre.
